Pet of the week, Parker

“It is a simple choice to live a life that benefits all live around you.”

Unknown

Don’t you think is a perfect quote for pets?  I do. Especially for service animals, they serve.

Parker is this week’s pet. He is also a service dog. As a service dog in training, he will undergo extensive training to prepare him to be matched to an individual who needs special assistance. Some of the areas are:

·      Seizure Response
·      Hearing Alert (alert to fire alarm, crying baby, etc.)
·      Autism Service Dogs
·      Psychiatric Service Dogs (PSTD or panic attacks)
·      Mobility Service Dogs
·      Diabetic Alert Dogs

I met Parker while waiting in a line at the local  Wal Mart. This store seems to be a great place to train a dog. Parker was attentive to this trainer, on task, and obeyed commands.
